Converted to Christ on 20 July 1952 in Ravenhill Free Presbyterian Church under the ministry of Rev. Ian Paisley, Bill Woods became part of a thriving youth fellowship in that church, out of which proceeded an extraordinary number of missionaries who carried the Gospel to many parts of the world.
Bill's personal desire to become one of those missionaries was driven by a number of factors, not least of which was Mollie Harvey's use of an oil lamp to emphasise how one small light can make a huge difference when everything around it is so dark.
Bill remained a Missionary Doctor, all his life, helping eradicate leprosy in Brazil. When he died, Lula Da Silva, the country's president, paid tribute. Bill would be embarrassed that any fuss is being made about him.
